Undergraduate EconomicsAdmissions

The Economics program offers students opportunities to explore both business and economics via coursework, co-curricular activities and research projects across the Carnegie Mellon campus.

The undergraduate economics program looks for students who are motivated, intellectually curious and interested in making connections across disciplines, and who will make the most of and contribute to the many opportunities throughout the Carnegie Mellon community.

While our program is jointly supported by Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Tepper School of Business, the admissions process requires students to apply through Dietrich College.

Carnegie Mellon follows a need-blind admission policy, which means we do not admit U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. based on their families' ability to pay for their education. Applying for financial aid will have no effect on your chances for regular admission.
